Talk:Lesser auricular nerve

Anybody?

Does anybody know if the "Lesser auricular nerve" is a currently accepted term? It doesn't seem to have much support. I notice that the Greater auricular nerve is also known as the "great auricular nerve", which makes me speculate that in the past there was acceptance for a "greater" and "lesser" auricular nerve, but because the lesser auricular nerve is not now a commonly used term (no hits on PubMed), the "greater" evolved into "great". The original creator of the page hasn't contributed in eight months, so it is unlikely that we would get more clarification from that source. Unless anyone objects, I think this page should be redirected to Greater auricular nerve. --Arcadian 20:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
